Default Any one had wheel bearings that loosen.. randomly!?

One of the things that im going to sort soon on the escort (which is tucked away at the moment) is the wheel bearings...

I replaced them all using a hydraulic press etc, much like I have replaced all wheel bearings in the past, but the front wheels especially keep loosening them selves!

Like really badly, to the point where the disk was rubbing on the calliper. Got it home from the MOT last year, tightened every thing up properly... about 20 miles later and the same problem

I had to re tighten the bearings periodically over the next 1000 miles. Its something I want to get to the bottom of before it goes back on the road.

Any one had similar? Should I just replace all the NEW bearings again

Cheers

Rob,
